\ FLOATING E0ATHOVS CONFERRED INTO
A HOSPITAL.
Pest INTEL. cenccI

lP0st-Intell. eencer.l
About week ago DR. Smart report
ed to Mayor Minor ana Health Officer
Smith that there was Ii case Of small
pox in certain down town lodging
house, Mayor Minor examined the
case, and, while he considered it a
contagious disease, declared it was
not smallpox. At the same time he
felt it his duty to quarantine the case
and accordingly, as there was no pest
house, purchased lIaines Il Nc
Micken's boathouSe, with its furniture
bedding, stoves and carpets, at an ex-
pense OF $3.50, employed nurse and
put the sick man Cd board, after max
ing the place comfortable. The float
ing pesthouse was then towed far
enough away to be out OF danger, and
vet not so far that the health officer
could not visit it daily in boat.
Since that time two other cases have
been reported and promptly sent to
the pesthouse.
As persons outside the city have en-
deavored, through selfish purposes and
motives, to get up smallpox scare
here, Mayor Minor has issued the fol-
lowing official statement
"To quiet the apprehensions of the
timid, to set at rest the eXaggcrations
OF the unwise and to meet the willful
Misrepresentation of our enemies,
desire to state that three cases of sus
picious diseases have occurred in the
city of Seattle, one of which at least is
undoubtedly smallpox.
"Thesc cases, as soon as reported
have been isolated, and at the earliest
possible moment removed to quarter:
where no possibility of the spread o
contagion could occur. The apart
ments occupied have been thorough!
fnmigcted by the health officer.
A most thorough investigation o
the Chinese quarter has been made
and no cases exist in that part Of thu
city.
at is the duty of every good either
to report to the Mayor or TO TIT
Health Officer any case in which Their
is even the slightest apprehension o
contagious disease, and if this is faith
fully done there need be no fear OF al
endemic"

THE most serious loss from fire that
has resulted at Seattle for many years
occurred Friday evening. The fire
started in o small cigar store on Mill
street, at the head of Yesler's wharf,
and soon communicated toa recently
repaired sawmill, operated by the
Mechanics Mill Company. The mill,
which will be total loss, was owned
by H. L. Yesler, and the loss on it
will be about $4,000. Yesler carried
no insurance, but the Mechanics Mill
Company had 81, 500 on their $4,000
worth of machinery. The building OF
the Puget Sound Hide Company, in
which the fire originated, is a total
loss and the building Of the Seattle
boiler works is badly damaged, Vol
& Schner, cabinet makers in the mill
lose about 81 500. The total loss will
probably aggregate $4,000.

We shout for the American girl. 1t
is said that Miss Winslow, an American
girl, took away the breath of all
Europe. 1t was at Hamburg, where
she waltzed at Il ball. The prince Of
Wales saw her and sent his equerry
to summon her to waltz with him.
Convey my regrets to his royal high
ness and say that / do not wish to
dance again" was her answer. "But,"
said the equerIy, I" are you aware that
the request is u commando care
you aware" she answered, that am
an American, and do not obey royal
commands" This ended it, and
Europe had cold chill. But the lady
deserves American thanks for her in
dependence.

TncOma's Horrors.

The closing days OF the old year
marked as they have been by the oc-
currence OF tragic events that cause
the heart to thrill with horror. The
first of these was the cold-blooded
murder of Fred. Neitzel, proprietor OF
the Brewery saloon, about midnight
last Friday. 1t seems that a man
named William Martin, committed the
deed, who delivered himself up, the
next day, and it appears from his con
fession that he had deliberately
planned the robbery, or as he ex-
pressed it for holding up" Neitzcl
while locking up the safe preparatory
to closing the saloon. He says: 81
took off my shoes outside, for wanted
to get in before he heard me- | got in
all right, but as l closed the door he
swung round and came at me with a
lantern he had in his hand. l in
tended to tell him to throw up his
hands, but he was too quick for me
and l had to shoot. fired first ove1
his head, thinking to scare him, but
he grabbed for me and though l told
him to keep back he wouldn't, and
emptied the revolver, five shots. II
was a Smith & Wesson, 45 calibre
When he fell l turned down the light:
and then went through his pockets fol
the safe keys. AS l took them two OF
three dollars rolled on the floor but
paid no attention to them. The safe
was open but the little drawers were
locked and was just getting at then
when the bartender came in and
jumped through the window"
The report of Martins pistol at
tracted the attention of Officer Farrell
and as he saw the fugitive running hi
fred several shots at him, one of which
it seems struck him near the lief
shoulder, but he finally escaped to tn
woods. There he remained till tn
next day, when suffering severely iron
the wound, he returned to shanty il
the suburbs, and sent word to the OF
ficers that he was ready to deliver him
self up. He is now lodged in jai
with about all even chance of his inju
ries proving fatal before the trial
which will, if it occurs, undoubtedly
result in the infliction of the extrem
penalty of the law.
Neitzel was unmarried, 80 years G
age, a prominent member of tn
Knights of Pythias, and a prosperou
citizen of Tacoma. Martin has bee
identified as tramp, who a shoI
time ago was Swallowed by the polio
Of Olympia in the belief from his az
tons that he was intent on robbery.
Monday night, another encounte
which will probably prove fatal, OF
CURED in the terminal city. About
o'clock in the evening, II. c. Hall, ell
tered the clearinghouse of Mrs. GA
rett, on Railroad Street, and assaulte
Alexander Douglas, a roomer with
knife, cutting his throat in a horribl
manner. While seriously injured, h
may recover. At last accounts Ha
had not been apprehended.

THE o. r. & n. Co., are now getting
out the timber for rebuilding the Vide
IVest,-for many years the crack boat
of the company's fleet. She will be
converted into side wheeler upon q
model prepared by Capt. J. w. Troup
and J. F. Steffen. The latter will SUI
perintend the construction of the new
craft. She will be $50 feet long Is
feet longer than the ITeSO and "a feet
beam 6 feet narrowe) and will have
26-foot wheels with 9-foot buckets.
The old engines, 2S-inch cylinder and
S-foot stroke, which are as good as
new, will be used and the boiler will
be put in thorough repair. The cabin
will remain about the same, but dim
ing-saloon will be put in on the lower
deck-an arrangement similar to the
Alaskan's-and a galley will be built
aft, so that food can be brought to the
table hot. Capt. Troup hazards the
opinion that the new boat will be the
fastest steam craft in the Pacific coast
waters, and he confidently expects to
make the run from Portland to AstO-
ria in four hours and ten minutes A
well-known river man; remarked /:
"She's got the slickest model you
ever laid eyes On!" The new boat will
be finished about the middle of April,
and will go into the seaside trade.
She will have the speed and the COM
fort OF either the ALASKAN or Oympian,
and the running expenses will be less
than one-third.

where they attracted great attention.
Mr.. Ernest Ingersoll' writes to Mr.

They were pronounced wonderful, ant
